Link to form that needs to be filled out within 48 hours of flight to Israel

Accordingly, the FINAL criteria For entering Israel are as follows - you must meet ONE of these conditions in order to enter Israel:

1. Vaccinated within 180 days of the trip with either a second vaccine or a booster and it must be at least 14 days after the shot.

2. Recovered within 180 days of the trip with DIGITAL proof of a positive PCR result and more than 11 days have passed since the positive result. This type of proof only exists in the EU. The UK will likely have it as well.

3. Recovered anytime – even more than 180 days before the trip - with DIGITAL proof of positive PCR result AND vaccinated with at least one dose within 180 days of the trip. Again at the moment the digital proof only exists in the EU and possibly the UK shortly.

Your vaccination or recovery CANNOT expire while in Israel, which means you may not be in Israel more than 180 days after your vaccine or recovery have expired.

CONSEQUENCES FOR VIOLATING THE TERMS OF ENTRY: VIOLATION OF ANY OF THE ABOVE CRITERIA CAN MEAN SANCTIONS INCLUDING BARRING YOUR ENTRY TO ISRAEL FOR 5 YEARS.

I believe there is an exemption for the pre departure covid test (for entry into Israel) for those recovered in the previous 90 days. Is this something I need to apply for, or can I simply show up to the airport with a positive PCR within the last 90 days?
You can just show up with the positive PCR, and depending on which country is your origin you can most likely use it again on the way back

To return to the US, you will need the Positive test plus a Doctor's note.

I tested positive in December in the USA, I applied for a permit from the exceptions Committee over a week ago and did not hear back.
So I went for plan B, I applied for a Switzerland Covid certificate which is supposedly accepted by Israel, it cost approx. $35, I got the certificate a bit more then 2 days later. I hope it will be smooth using it.
 
I did see someone advertise they get you permits within 24 hours, I did not want to ask him what he charges.

Last I checked, you need a PCR test to enter the airport terminal.
last night guy glanced at my phone screen with antigen test, definitely did not see details, and asked if I was vaccinated. didn't ask for green pass. antigen day of is enough to enter US

https://covidcertificate-form.admin.ch/foreign

For an application for a recovery certificate based on a positive PCR test you must show an official confirmation that isolation has been lifted. The confirmation must contain the name and address of this authority as well as proof of the positive PCR test result, with at least the following information:
Last name, first name and date of birth.
Date and time the sample was taken (must be within the last 365 days).
Test centre of institution that carried out the test.
Type of test (only PCR tests are valid)

There might be other countries doing it as well. So far I checked Finland, France the Netherlands, Sweden and they don't do it. but there is a total of 60 countries/territories participating in this system (27 EU +33 others) so there might be one with easy rules and it would be recognized in all 60 countries.

Name, DOB, date of test, country of test.
Because it says that recovered in the US, I wasn't sure if it works to enter Israel. You would have to declare recovered in a EU country...
If anyone used it or plans on, please report how it went

I was told by someone who arranges it for a fee that on the Israel health form you need to enter recovered in Switzerland and upload the recovery certificate, their system will read the QR code and verify it with Switzerland and will give you a green pass.
Here is the link to apply https://covidcertificate-form.admin.ch/foreign
They will ask you where you will stay your first 24 hours in Switzerland,  I googled for an address of a nice hotel.
You will also need to show them proof that you plan to visit Switzerland I uploaded proof of an airline reservation.

It does not allow me to enter "country of test" - what am I doing wrong?
